VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Elias Pettersson had two goals and an assist as the Vancouver Canucks moved atop the Western Conference standings with a 3-2

Vancouver goalie Casey DeSmith made 15 saves in his first victory since starter Thatcher Demko was sidelined by injury last week.“That’s all we’ve really talked about lately, that we’ve got to be the team that doesn’t go away,” Miller said. “We’ve got to be able to man up and respond. Things aren’t gonna go our way down the stretch here every day. We’ve got to understand that it’s gonna take a mentally tough group to win hockey games in the latter part of the season.
Devon Levi made his first NHL start since Jan. 24 and stopped 31 of 33 shots. He was recalled from the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League on Saturday. He said there was some pressure in taking the net when his team was fighting for a playoff spot. Dahlin cut the deficit to 2-1 during a stretch of 4-on-4 play after Vancouver’s Tyler Myers and Buffalo’s Jeff Skinner were sent to the penalty box for slashing midway through the third period.
Levi stopped a blast from Miller and the rebound bounced out to Pettersson in front of the net. He sent a backhanded shot over the Buffalo netminder at 13:48. The goal was Pettersson’s 32nd of the season, but just his fourth since the All-Star break.
